london day 4 - groundhogs day!

happy ground hogs day.

today was really just a work day like all others. after work BD and i went to "toucans" an irish bar in soho. they have stools that are Guinness pint looking.. white top, and a solid black bottom with Guinness written on them.

after that it was about 815... i was ready to go to the kings arms for another pint, but i saw that marks and spencer was still open on my way back to the hotel. i was originally intending to go to urban outfitters, but since i've never been in an M&S, i stopped in. M&S is like an upscale department store, but it has a twist. it is also a grocery store, a liquor store, a bookstore, anything and everything.. i am not a shopper by nature, and to be honest i thought, i'm not buying anything.. my suitcase is pretty packed to the max, but that is okay because i'm not buying anything...

well. i went in just looking for a purse maybe, or a wallet. all the purses are about 3 times the size i would even consider(suitcases) and they are all in that shiny leather metallic material. not for me!!! so then i started looking for the toilets. on my way i noticed that they carry my size in most of their clothes, that was an eye opener piquing my interests. the toilets were down in the basement which is also the grocery store. remember i told you how easy it is to eat veggie here.. on all menus i've seen so far, there is a little V next to vegetarian dishes, and there are usually quite a few on each menu. well M&S has a whole V sandwich section. and each sandwich was better then the first.. can you guess which one i picked?



it was the best sandwich ever!! i am starting to feel like i was born in the wrong country. :) i also have a feeling that saturday and sunday are going to be big shopping days.

i just saw an ad on tv that "walk the line" is going to be coming to theaters here tomorrow. just about 3 monthes later then us.

in case you are curious, tonights bizzarro episode is called "return to gender". its mainly about two men who have been confused about their genders. one underwent a sex surgery, and the other just took hormones. both have since decided that they don't want to be women. the one that actually had the surgery is the most unhappy. i wish i had a vcr.. these shows are unreal. OMG! there is a new story where this man went to india or something to have his sex change surgery. they f'd it up, obviously and this program just showed the bloody pictures of this womans non-vagina... it was basically just a hole. i think i am going to throw up.

i should have watched lost instead....

i added some pics to the end of the photo album...check previous posts for links.
